Water coolant inlet tube

[biggsdabarber]

Ok so Im changing my cooling system completely out. Everything is changed, the problem im having is my coolant inlet tube seal is an o-ring and the one that came with the car is not an o-ring. I tried the o-ring and it leaked coolant. So I took it back apart and attempted to use the old seal. It worked for a week and it gave out on me. Does anyone know of the part number for it or where I can get one. I have been to advanced, auto zone, and pepboys none of them have it.

8255a

8255A is used twice, one a each head. It's not an o-ring, but is a gasket instead.
HR1 is the single o-ring seal between the crossover tube and the water outlet tube. Which is it that you really need?

Yea but I cant find it. Well actually I didnt know the name or part number. When I bought the coolant inlet they gave me a o-ring. Where can I find the hr1

8255a should be 96JV-8255-CB

HR1 should be W707299-S300
